Virtualisointi EQU virtualization » Xenocode http://www.virtualisointi.fi Random ramblings from the world of virtualization and then maybe some other things as well Sun, 18 Sep 2011 15:15:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 en hourly 1 There is no Spoon.. http://www.virtualisointi.fi/en/archives/143 http://www.virtualisointi.fi/en/archives/143#comments Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:14:26 +0000 Kalle Saunamäki http://www.virtualisointi.fi/wordpress/?p=143 In addition to “being informed” by Citrix marketing department, I also signed up for Xenocode trial some year ago, although to then current products which included .NET related tools not the virtualization ones.

For this very reason I got announcement from them that they have launched something called Spoon, namely a technology and/or website to launch virtual applications from Internet. It’s a hosted service by Xenocode through which you can provide your own virtual applications [packaged with Xenocode's app virtualization, of course]. Based on quick look at their demo site, spoon.net, it requires some sort of plugin to be installed first which apparently does acceleration to startup process (5-10x faster based on the marketing email) compred to normal HTTP based downloading.

Btw, their spoon.net site lists sample apps for you or anyone to try out. As I very well know from running my own site of free virtual applications, you should be careful about if original vendors allow redistribution in modified form; spoon.net contains several commerical – but free – applications which I’m not all that sure vendor have given permissions to re-distribute in this manner..
